Abstract

The fragment A beta(25-35) of the Alzheimer's amyloid beta-peptide, like its full-length peptide A beta(1-42), has shown neurotoxic activities in cultured cells. The conformational preference of this important peptide is examined here in solution, gel, and film states (obtained with organic and aqueous solvents) by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy for the first time. For comparative studies, vibrational absorption and electronic circular dichroism measurements were also carried out under identical conditions. The peptide was found to adopt beta-sheet and beta-turn structures, with their relative proportions changing in different environments.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
